How to configure Outbound Session Agent Feedback

Introduction

Outbound session feedback to an agent when the callee cannot be added to the session. This is a text-to-speech message played to the agent before the session gets disconnected.

Note

This only works with the advanced speech engines:

MicrosoftCognitiveService and
GoogleCloudTextToSpeechV1,

not with the legacy MicrosoftSpeechSynthesizer. See: Speech Engines for AnywhereNow

Affected components are:

DirectDialer (DCI)
Campaign Dialer
Queued Callback CallBack, an IVR menu feature for voice, enables the customer to confirm or leave an alternative phone number to be called back by an available agent during business hours.
Outbound Intercepted
